    If we want to know whether or not digital devices should be allowed in schools, why don’t we ask the folks in the Silicon Valley. They must know it, and have been telling us for years:

    Parents working in Silicon Valley are sending their children to a school where there’s not a computer in sight – (2015)

    In the heart of Silicon Valley is a nine-classroom school where employees of tech giants Google, Apple and Yahoo send their children. But despite its location in America’s digital centre, there is not an iPad, smartphone or screen in sight.
